This masterful collaboration pairs UK's premier vibraphonist Frank Ricotti with vocalist-songwriter Michael de Albuquerque (just before he joined ELO as their bassist), backed by an all-star lineup of British jazz luminaries including John Taylor on keyboards and Trevor Tomkins on drums. From the taut and laconic \"Give A Damn\" to their Cat Stevens-esque take on James Taylor's \"Lo And Behold,\" the album seamlessly blends experimental jazz-rock with thoughtful interpretations of classic songs. Originally praised by Cream magazine for it's \"elegant quartet\" sound and hailed as \"an absolute must\" by Hi-Fi News \u0026amp; Record Review, this definitive reissue includes nine bonus tracks featuring their complete John Peel BBC session, plus a 20-page booklet with track-by-track commentary from de Albuquerque himself.\"","brand":"ALLIANCE ENTERTAINMENT LLC","offers":[{"title":"USA Supplier - 4-10 Days","offer_id":67812620304684,"sku":"al-720053285949","price":38.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/5186\/5644\/files\/4387649-3291838.jpg?v=1794215931","url":"https:\/\/realgroovy.com\/products\/720053285949-first-wind-2025-remaster","provider":"Real Groovy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
